I Just Don’t . . .

. . . care about Property. I especially don’t care about the history of the American Legal Tradition, and I definitely don’t care about fancy latin terms lawyers judges use to convince themselves, and others, they are more knowledgeable than the general public (they very well may be, but it’s not because they use latin terms which I’m sure less than 50% of them can actually pronounce).

They say that during 1L law school scares you to death, during 2L law school works you to death, and during 3L law school bores you to death. “Now concerning” the first year: mere exaggerations on the part of others. It was stressful, and difficult at times, but fear is for the weak (especially fear of an educational institution). This year…I’m already bored to death. Well, let me clarify. I decided made the mistake of taking Corporations during my 1L Spring semester, opting to take Property (a typical first year course) during my second year. It’s understandable why courses like Civil Procedure, Torts, Property, The Administrative State, Contracts, and Crim are required first year courses. Sure, they’re the “foundations of our American Legal System,” but they also are insanely boring and the only people who would actually pay attention are those few academic types who are genuinely interested in the nuances contained within these subject areas (umm…not me), and overly-stressed 1Ls who are lead to believe they should listen to, and copy down, every word the omniscient professor says during a two-hour class period.

I'm not this bored...

 

I’ll focus on the classes I like: Securities Regulations, Income Tax (lolwut) and my Corporate Law Theory Seminar. Much more relevant and practical (except for the seminar), and they tend to leave all that academic blah blah outside (again, except for the seminar).

Brittany, this is the closest I could come to saying that I hate law school.

 

Have Fun. Live Life.
